Natural landscapes: Peace at sunrise

DAYBREAK, PIGEON LAKE, ALBERTA

Photographed in the mid-1990s with my old Pentax 6×7 medium-format film camera, tripod and polarizing filter. This was an incredibly still and glorious sunrise and I came away with several compositions that are still among my favourites today.

That image certainly conveys peace and calmness. Possibly the reason I like that time of morning. And I really like the fact it is FILM. Nice shot.

  Thanks, Brian. That morning on that stretch of beach yielded several “keepers”. 🙂
